EQ

I have always prized myself as having EQ rather than IQ - i am just not all that bright. However something I have realized;

If your asshole quotient is stronger than your leadership quotient, you will never truly be the latter.
-roy

one of my many struggles.

now wanting what i want

I want not my soul to be free but to be free of my soul.

I know this is not what I truly want, nor is it in my best interest, but sometimes I want a mechanical heart. A heart that will just do as it's told and not talk back and not stab back.

This is not Your will and I am thankful for that. Life, thought, and love would become mere obstacles in the middle of the mundane if a mechanical heart had it's way.

Your grace knows no famine, it can not be contained in any storehouse.

gold for the price of silver

A band that I have been digging more and more - Kings of Convenience. Reflective lyrics with creative instrumentals = a great coffee/reading experience.





If it takes control of your body and soul
embrace it
if it makes you cry or leave you wondering why
don't turn around, face it

but do turn cold
if they promise you gold for the price of silver
if it's chemically made
by people you hate
pinch your arm (pitch around), see if they still there

everything you want is what I got to give you
you just have to let yourself come with me now
everything you want is what I got to give you
there's no time to hesitate, come with me now
let's go and watch the sun rise

over london bridge
over golden gate
or puddefjordsbroen

let your heart run along to the rhythm of the song

different gens

i hung out with guys from 3 generations this evening, not going to lie - it's weird. we are just different. we think different, act different - i even think that when i am at that age, or when they were mine, we would not be much more aligned. the gaps between generations has been loud as of late. it's not bad in the slightest, however it takes patience and selflessness by both parties to understand the other.

what my GEN Y will do during their life I don't know.

blog me this

so I sit here and have written out a few blogs so I can start getting back into the swing of things. reality is I am sorda tired of writing about the same ol same ol roy-ism stuff. i think i want to try something new on here - not sure what that means yet. Hope to post more frequently and introduce certain curiosities.

bueno quote
melancholy should be an innocent interlude, a tender and fugitive frame of mind; praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul. Pessimism is at best an emotional half-holiday; joy is the uproarious labour by which all things live.
